The most infuriating part about expecting kids to play for nothing but a scholarship and like it is that:

1. Their prime earning window is like 18-28, maybe 18-34 if they're really talented and fortunate. So we're expecting them to give up 12.5% to 40% of their prime earning window for just a scholarship.

2. For a lot of them, their prime earning window is more like 18-25, if they are good college players who won't make the NFL. So it's even worse.

If I'm not mistaken, this is Sluka's last year of eligibility. He currently projects as a late round pick or undrafted, so it's very possible he only makes a few hundred grand in the NFL over the next few years. He was a psych major at Holy Cross, so there's a decent chance that whatever he makes next year in NIL will be in the top 5 earnings years of his career. I assume he'd be starting a professional career in the mid-to-high five figure range.

And people want to make arguments about quitting on his team and school? Nah, his [I]school [/I]quit on [I]him[/I].
